Who’s ready for a double-dose of Hard Knocks for the 2021 season? The NFL has announced that there will be a multi-episode, in-season edition for the first time in the history of the Hard Knocks series that will chronicle the Indianapolis Colts‘ campaign this fall. This will be the first time the Colts have appeared on the series.
“We could not be more thrilled to bring Hard Knocks and the remarkable behind-the-scenes access it provides for the entirety of an NFL season,” said Ross Ketover, NFL Films Senior Executive. “Thanks to HBO, along with the incredible cooperation from the Colts, we are able to deliver a groundbreaking new edition of the series.”
While there have been other series that follow a team’s season and release episodes once the season is over (such as Amazon’s All or Nothing series produced by the teams themselves), this will be the first time a show of any kind will document an NFL franchise in real-time.
When and where can I watch Hard Knocks with the Indianapolis Colts?
Hard Knocks In Season: The Indianapolis Colts will premiere on Wednesday, November 17 at 10 PM ET this fall. Additional episodes will premiere each Wednesday through the end of the Colts’ season. It will be available on HBO and can also be streamed on HBO Max.
